Thin prediction Im bucked up hy. the
forecast c?f the federal regional director
of {lues south of the Potomac ami east
of the Missisalppa in Charleston a ahort
time ago that wecigl trains and pas
senger schedules are to be adjusted and
the commercial aud pleasure facilities
restored a? m>eedily an possible. "War
strews" iM a thing of the past, he said,
aud railroad directora under the federal
< .m t r.?I system are determined to regtOrl
normal conditions to the transportation
lines at once.
Mr. Wiuchell predicted that tourist
travel would be heavy to lines running
Houth tliiM winter aud the Atlantic Oo^at
Line is one of the first roads to take
advantage of this winter travel and has
already put it* special tourist train in
service, carrying the initial winter load
to the Houtheast resorts only last week.
Mr. Hohingou Mays ttyut Charleston, Ha
vaunah and other Ideal winter cities
WM get their full share of , tourists tills

The tourlHt buKiuess (h bhsed on travel
to Florida, said Mr. Robinson. There
an' im any of the high class hotels which
do not open until January as a rule,
but at thin time all of them are open
and he adds that the hotel managers
of the Florida hotels are expert in gang
liy^rravel. The fact that they are open
v'-eud of time indicate* < to him that
>. ravel, is to be heavy and that tliey
ate amtfoo*- to get the c rea m of It. All
towns prepared to take cure of visitors
this winter, which are located below the
zero belt will be able to hag all the
tourists they desire, Mr. Robinson think*.
Mr. Robinson has been in Chicago
supervising the publication of a fold
er to be issued toy the railroud admin
istration advertising the resorts of the
Southern region. AH prominent reports
in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, .Mississippi
North and Houth Carolina are to be

be off . the preesby January 10.
- The through service to Chicago in
augurated by the Central of Georgia
Railway, two years ago is being well
patronized, said Mr. Robinson, and Is
going to be the route chosen hy hun
dreds of visitors to the Houth* during
the winter. While it is an nll^ear

Through the columns of this valuable
news medium aud by permission of its
etljtov, 'I wish to announce that the in
telligence of our efficient Board of Health
has jgiven us to understand that tlje
Jaokson School may again extend
its doom to your children on the 30th
day of December at 9 o'clock sharp.
'I wish to request that each family
that ban a child of school age send
that child to the school on that date,
and further, you should see to it that
that child of yours attends school five
days out of the week until the school
session ends. The State ond County
Uo'ard of Education backed by the State
government, requires that you should
do this; the child's moral .and mental
development demands that you should
do this; your foodl conscience and com
mon judgment counsel you that your child
to obtain an : education that is worth
having, should and must attend school
regularly, when Providence permits.
We; your teachers/ and the Board of
Trutftees \have done and willing to do
the. very best within our power for your
child. But at our best; efforts, wo need
and must have your sympathy, willing
and constant co-operation, remembering
the fact that it takes at least three per
sons to educate your child properly : the
mother, father and the teacher, and the
greatest of these is mother. If any of
these parties fails, the child's life will
certainly reveal it. So let us all wprfc
together, talk the same thing, sing, gttye
?ame nong and probably we may fee
able to save the same child; Your child.
